A Freelance Writer Can Do So Many Things For You in
Palmdale

So many people think they know how to be a good
writer. But it takes so much more than stringing together a bunch of
words and using punctuation symbols. It takes skill. My varied
background (journalist, editor, proofreader, copywriter) has given me
the skills to write in so many different forms. I possess expertise in
no fewer than 21 different writing categories. Read on
to see what I can do for you, my Palmdale, CA customers.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – You probably know
that this style of writing is what you need to appear on page one of
your favorite search engines. Well, my Palmdale clients are satisfied
that my search engine optimization works for them. But do you know that
over time, you need to refresh your pages with new copy? This freelance
writer can help you
keep your pages atop search engines longer.

Blogging – Check out my blog about proper word choice,
usingtherightwords (just click the tab at the top), where I poke fun at
how people (myself included) use (and misuse) language. I have blogged about topics ranging from
various sports (including those in Palmdale) to politics to
Lamborghinis to the
home oxygen industry. I’ve blogged posts of less than 100 words to
several hundred, but with Twitter limiting your tweets to 140
characters, you need a blogger who can write clear and concise copy.

Ad copy – What are you trying to sell? To whom are you trying to sell?
Where are you trying to sell it, Palmdale? Is your intended
message reaching your target audience? How catchy, clever and creative
is the ad copy? As a copywriter, I have written about memory foam
beds, spy gadgets, toys, watches and clocks, coffee, automobiles and website
development, to name a few, and I can do the same for you.

Ghostwriting – Also known as ghost
writing. Whether it's something large like a book or something regular
like a blog, if you don't have the time or ability to write it yourself
but you want everyone to think you did, hire an Palmdale ghostwriter to do it for you.

Newsletters – These are great ways to inform your Palmdale audience, whether that’s your employees or customers.
Freelance writing
newsletters requires other skills including interviewing and page
design, skills I bring from my journalist days. Non-profits have taken
advantage of my newsletter-writing skills, and so can you.

Press Releases – As a former newspaper writer, I saw
press releases of all kinds, so I know what works on a press release and
what doesn’t. You need a catchy headline and a first paragraph that will
make the Palmdale reader want to read the entire press release and then assign
the story.

Corporate (script) writing – Corporations of all types in Palmdale often
make training videos, commercials and narratives, and they often need
someone to do the freelance writing. I completed several
scripts for
training videos for skiers and snowboarders. Plus, I have experience with corporate writing from
my days of technical writing, and I can deliver scripts and narrations
that are lively, interesting and instructive.

Marketing Materials – Good marketing materials, which
include direct mail letters, brochures and product labels, have to guarantee,
resonate, authenticate and be concise. They need to make the Palmdale reader act now and buy what you’re selling. Creativity is my
forte, and I can help make your marketing materials sing. Check out the
product label on my "Copywriting" page.

Elevator speeches/30-second commercials – If you only
have a short time to introduce yourself, you need a writer who can write
clearly and concisely. I’ve helped numerous clients make
their commercials more dynamic, more engaging, more entertaining. This
had led to more interest, more inquiries and more jobs. Plus, it's my
least expensive service.

Website copy – To write a website, you must ensure that
the message you have on your website is the message you intend your
Palmdale customers/prospective clients to receive. When I'm writing for
websites, I write website content using the right words to get your
message out. I also can combine SEO-style website writing for more
effective pages.

Social media – Everybody knows the importance of
Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, and the rest. These are great
ways to keep your client and customer bases informed. If you don't have
time to post, I can do it for you -- as many posts per month or day as
you require.

If you have a story to tell, I’ll tell it
well and I’ll give you the WRITE stuff!
